That is one hardworking helper you have. He is a real asset to the operation. Fascinating to see the old bus brought back to life.

To me, the Scenicruiser will always be “the” Greyhound bus! It’s iconic, and I’m glad to see this one back on the road.

Impressive seeing that ScenicCruiser thunder down the interstate doing 70-80mph after all those essential repairs, grease-ups and adjustments.

I've wanted a scenic since I was 3 years old, and got a Matchbox Scenicruiser. I'm 56 now, and still don't have one yet. But I never thought I'd get married again, and that happened a week ago Friday, so I'm still hoping for a scenic.

A true Dream Bus, the ole people hauler needs a Lotta Love, such a large task to save from the bone yard but as an Enthusiast it warms my heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖

Nice to hear the tyre shop put their hands up and agreed to the repairs. Given the general condition of the bus, many companies would have tried to wiggle out. IF they had said at the time when they stripped the first stud or two that they were having issues and admitted it up front, they might have been able to avoid that cost. Sounds like someone tried to cover up their mistake and the company made good.

I had been wondering what happened to this old girl. There was once a time I'd have driven across the country and done something like this to save an old Scenicruiser like this. The Scenicruiser was, once upon a time, my dream bus... Never could find one in my price range or one that had more than a body on blocks, but I did eventually get a 4905A that burned in a house fire just a month after I got, but... Now I actually DO have my "dream" bus. A Prevost H3-45 to convert. My health prevents me from doing any heavy lifting, but I can do woodworking, plumbing and electrical easily enough. :) I hope this old Scenicruiser can be brought back to life and at least restored to a semblance of its original state. They were some of the most unique and quite beautiful buses of just about any era in my opinion.

Your channel is like an online university for working on buses. I would like to get a bus rv and I have learned so much on what to look for when finding the right bus . I have grow up around class 8 trucks and have a large shop to work on trucks , but the bus maintenance is way different. Thank's for sharing your adventures.

In the 50's I took the scenicruiser from NY to Wash DC a lot and I was always put in the right front seat as I was an un accompanied kid and the wonderful lady attendant would sit next to me. This brought back fond memories of my childhood. i just got back from Europe after three bus tours for 6 weeks and while the new luxury busses are very comfortable they do not have the "romance factor" of the good old scenicruiser. Would love to see this bus finished.

Really enjoyed the video. Love working on these types of projects. Great to hear that she wasnt smioking. My old friend and old school diesel engine instructor would have had a kniption hearing an engine revving that high without a load. That was always one of his per peeves. Don, had worked in the oil fields before becoming an instructor. Another friend and mentor, Ernie, had worked in the appalachian mines. Wasnt anything thise two fellows couldnt fix.

As other vehicles were passing you they were thinking. "Please let any parts fly off as I pass you." Great video.

My whole world revolves around old cars and trucks, so, to me, there's no such thing as too far gone. This bus is no exception, but wow, does it need everything. Every square inch is either worn out, dented, rusted, or missing. Try not to look at it all at once; it'll overwhelm you. Pick out one section or task at a time, conplete that, and move on to the next. In a few years, you'll realize it's nearing completion and looks spectacular.

In 1959 The Greyhound bus encounter!​ On a trip across Kansas from Missouri to Colorado on 36 highway we were in heavy fog. All of a sudden there was a Greyhound bus come racing out of the fog. ​Into the oncoming lane and passed us and disappeared into the fog ahead. I NEVER WILL FORGET THE LOOK ON MY DAD'S FACE!

It runs good! Great recovery. It was good of the tire store to own up to their mistakes and pay for the repairs. 👍

Man that poor poor bus was so abused. Thans Scott and crew for doing the right thing.

As a bus driver I must say I love your channel. I wish I was financially able to do the same stuff as well, I'd love having one of these as a personal vehicle instead of a car.

How much did I miss this kind of documentary 😊❤

Scott, I can only imagine what that was like trying to sleep in that "old girl" when you guys stopped for the night. I don't think I could have done that. In the future whenever you are faced with sleeping in a gutted out bus without windows but probably with critters and more than likely an abundance of spiders, I would be more than happy to gift you a hotel room for the night. I am assuming you already had that option but wanted to stay with the bus to ensure it was secured, but just remember this offer, as I'll leave it as a standing offer for the future. And oh by the way, my first introduction to the Scenic Cruiser was on a trip with my dad from Memphis to Saint Louis for a weekend series between the Cardinals and the Reds. I will never ever forget that trip as my Dad has been gone 20 years and I'm pushing 70. Seeing one of these grand old buses being saved from the scrapper was quite emotional for me. Thank you and congratulations for saving this iconic piece of our American history. And don't forget about my offer! Take care.......

This is fascinating. It has inspired me to continue the restoration of my 1964 Econoline van.

In August 1970, i was in the Navy and rode a Scenicruiser from Knoxville,Tn to Charleston, Sc to await orders for Vietnam. I rode in the front of bus and those overpasses sure looked close as we drove beneath them.

I'm glad you were able to get that iconic bus going and saved. What a diamond in the rough. Nothing better than sailing down the highway listening to the hum of a two stroke Detroit diesel.

Really enjoyed watching this video reminds me of my days back in the nineties working for RMI trucking as a full on service tech . "we had 52 trucks at that time and they kept us busy especially during Michigan winters. I'm retired now I'm living down south Louisiana outside New Orleans but I still miss it from fime to time . Hell I often thought about buying one of these old buses myself to monkey around with as a hobby .

The sense of speed in this video is wild. Feels like the bus is screaming down the road

I found your channel with the tour video and went back and watched this whole series. It’s an amazing build and has given me so many ideas for our new bus project. Sad to see this series end.

I had a coworker take one of these scenicrusers 40 years ago and completely rebuilt it into a motor home, beautiful.

That Hound was moving and thanks for showing the hill climb!!

George is one of my customers at NAPA. It was so funny when i stumbled on these videos by chance and saw him working on the old Scenicruiser.

Scott, you and your team are a crazy group, more balls than myself in bringing this old girl home. Glad you made it with little trouble, awaiting to see her completed, take care brother.

I had old time Lenny vibes watching this. Great work bringing this classic back to life! Another one saved from the recycler! You guys are awesome! 👍💯

What a save!! Glad to see that ole girl being kept alive. Great job...

It is satisfying tryiing to save from scram old iron. Just like my dad´s 1981 C-10 truck, it was abandonend below a mango tree, and I couldin´t stantd to it, so I made just as you, now it sits right at home. Now I take her for rides and her I are both happy. New home for my truck love.

Scott any town you’re in with a bus company mostly always has spares and are usually willing to help folks out in a bind,as you know it’s a small community,cheers for your videos.

Seeing the Scenicruiser back on the road reminds me of my childhood. I loved the "double decker look" of the bus. Great to see this historic vehicle back on the road.

Fun to watch these on-sight fixes. Reminds of you, Kelly and Lenny on the road...

You guys are amazing! The sound of that 8v71 is awesome. My dad was on the fire department and those engines were in a ton of apparatus. Love the sound…

1955?! I was eight years old and this bus would have been beyond belief in the comfort, quietness and speed stakes. But I speak of NZ where commercial passenger transport vehicles were still limited to a cloying 40 mph maximum despite traffic density less than a tenth of today's rat-race. Your drive home was amazing; a revelation of the superiority of American machinery over long distances than the S-Bedfords that dominated New Zealand buses and coaches. And I refrain from describing the odiferous early 1930s rattle traps that went under the imposing title of School Buses!

Man, oh, man... I love this channel. I used to drive a 4104, as I was the new guy and got the oldest rolling wreck we had... I did eventually move up to an 11 series. I never did drive an automatic bus until I drove a city bus for a living in 2006. Love it! The sound of a 2 stroke Detroit will be nothing but a memory, and unthinkable for the younger folks today. Truck it up, bus it up! Mash your motor and burn some diesel!

Thank you for the adventures you take me on, I enjoy watching what y'all do!!

Always great videos BGM. Thank you John A

Love your videos especially the rescues. Keep up the good work you do Scott keeping everyone safe and rescuing the ole school buses 👍🏽

Great video! I wouldn't have believed it could run so well! You guys did an excellent job of showing your work. I remember being on a very similar bus in the late 50's going with our Boy Scout troop from Kansas City area to Philmont Scout Ranch. Quite a trip. Thanks for your video work. Be well, be safe!

that gps voice startled the crap out of me and i was wearing headphones lol😆😆

I'm so impressed with these scenicruiser videos, the others as well of course. The Scenicruiser bus is smack-dab in the middle of such a huge intersection of interesting things. And an unusually wide variety of things at that. Been watching your channel since your first Scenicruiser videos. I don't want one, but I like the idea of helping to fix one. The community effort amazes me.

That was so cool to see the classic cars cruising past that may have passed it once back in the day 😊

I have to hand it to guy's your excellent mechanics. That was hard work. Who ever owend that bus before sure abused it. As a Bus Driver 51 yrs does me good to see you save these busses. Thank You fantastic vidio. Enjoy every one of your's😊

That bus WANTED to ride the open highway again, it was literally running and sounding as if new. Great work, keep em coming.

Beautiful bus, lots of potential! Thanks Scott!

We had a GM4106 that we converted to an RV and drove it around the USA for a year. We recently donated it to a Christian Camp to use as a Tiny House. We hope it is a blessing. During our ownership, we had to replace the air bags on each corner. What a job. Nice Video GM.

Amazing seeing this vid of you rolling down the highway! You are fearless!

Your young mechanic is just fabulous such an important part. Because I know how important good help is. Keep up the great work you should be very proud of him.

Seems to run great, I,ve always liked the scenic cruisers, definitely a cool old bus. She looks like a bus from a mad max movie. Lol. Great video. Thanx again. ✌️❤️😁

I can't believe how smoke free that Detroit was. Great job guys, you must be over the moon at how everything went, the stars really aligned on this one. Good that another iconic bus is saved from the scrappers.

Love that you guys save these buses and give them a new life!

Reverse threads on the lug nuts? Is that just one side? I can see where a tire shop would screw up lug nuts with not knowing they were reverse threads but all of them? Whew! What incompetence. Can’t get enough of you guys, hope to see much more in the future.

AWESOME job guys! Best of luck with this beautiful classic

I think Dee's boys are great and see really nice work thanks.

The distinct roar of a 2 stroke Detroit diesel has low key terrified me since watching Maximum Overdrive as a kid lol

This is awesome! Love the video bombing of the vintage rides around 42 min! That wagon was amazing...my conclusion from this is I think your kind of bus people are as crazy as us VW bus people! My dad, brother and I have rescued many over the years and certainly can relate to "sketchy" drives home! ha great video thanks for sharing!

Great job. As always thanks again for sharing this and God bless

Man, I’d love to own one of these, just hoping I find one on all the old back roads I drive, great content and just love the hard work y’all put into to videos and buses!

Thanks for providing sliver of optimism and hope for this dismal failed delusion of 'mankind'.....even for an hour.....I remember well these old buses....was horrified when my father put me on one of these from Port Arthur to Houston, Tx way back in 1962...guess he wanted to bring me down a notch.....a taste of the jungle......definitely worked.....this is one of my most favorite channels....thnx a mil

So nice to see people that take pride in doing their correctly!

Thanks for all your hard work rescuing these buss❤❤😊😊

Great Video....loved the journey and the ride.

Carly Simon wrote a song dedicated to the steering of this bus: 'You're so vague, I bet you thought this bus could just drive straight, didn't you?' :D

Thanks for taking me along on the ride.

Got to love a good hack tire guy. Love the bearing nuts too.

I love these long in depth videos especially with a Scenicruser as the subject. I want one for myself, I'd love to restore the front to original Grey Hound and let the upper floor be living quarters. The windows need to be restored including the ones on the ceiling.

My wife is from Texas and I lived there 15 years in the 80's and 90's. Texas is the largest cotton producing state. I remember driving for hundreds of miles and seeing so much cotton on the roads and in the ditches that it looked like snow. in the middle of summer during harvest.

Second driving day: scary steering, suddenly in a time warp: passed by a 55 Nomad, a 46/47 Hudson sedan and a vintage pickup.

loved that Scott... looking forward to seeing what you do with the cruiser

I also LOVE ❤ all your videos, because I loved busses since I was a little boy😊 u guys are the BEST

Great show. Hello from townsville australia 👍

"loud as hell in here"-but you know you were lovin it..8V71 music...great adventure,top notch work not many would attempt

What a great run! They have a 10 speed? on the left side no less!!! Outstanding video! thanks

Reminds me of the Greyhound buses of the 70's and 80's I rode on. The hum of the engine and roadway just put me to sleep on the long stretches. Good recovery and work to get it road ready.

So happy to see that you guys don't camp out in the felony lane. So many people jump into the passing lane and never leave it backing traffic for miles

That is sooo cool. Thanks for working and keeping this piece of history running. Soo neat.

Hi from Glasgow Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 here in Glasgow we've got a Bus Garage That got old Glasgow and Scotland Buses Thanks for the video 📹 Scot

I'll tell you what - watching you guys work is something else. This stuff isn't complicated work but it sure ain't EASY work.

Nice trip home - enjoyed riding along with you and this camera footage..

We owned a 1955 Scenic Cruiser 1982 - 1991 which looked a lot like this bus. It was converted and our family ministry used it for touring. I had the joy of maintaining and working on it. This bus video brought back many fond memories. Good job Scott and company. Blessings.

I have to say Scott...Asa bus driver I would have no problem Scott if you were the mechanic on my bus!! Great vidio ! Be safe. Ps your Assistance is top Shelf hard working man!

I have been waiting for part 2 for some time. Great video.

The Scenicruiser is such a classic bus! I'm glad this one is being rescued!

It is fabulous to see these old working buses being saved, they're an important part of American & world transport history, fantastic..

Doesn't look like much, but she moves like a scalded cat. I enjoyed the ride. Thank you for saving another one.

Such a cool bus!!! I love watching " Experts in Action"!!! Almost looks like New Haven Railroad Colors...

Excellent Team work I love the bus

Nice to see that this Scenicruiser has been saved! I have seen one here in the Netherlands recently, with Dutch numberplates on it. Little coincidence: you passed Scott City, where Mr Ron Pratt runs Midwest Truck. I'm a subscriber on his channel also 😉

I think you do wonderful work I live in St Louis Mo ❤❤

Professional drivers deserve more than we give them credit for, that sloppy steering reminded me of towing a wrecked semi cabover with a 2 ton GMC, to heavy and to fast with sloppy steering, you are a smooth operator with nerves of steal, you could have been a NASCAR driver, excellent video, A+

That style bus is so cool looking it will make someone a great unit. Keep doing your thing great content thanks.

Scott, your videos are so very entertaining and informative but I'm amazed at the inferior workmanship that you discover that was performed by another shop. Time after time. How do they get away with shoddy repairs? Keep up the good work. Thanks.

41:00 so badass to see that thing going that fast! thanks for sharing boys! WELL DONE!

She's not pretty but she sounds super on the road at speed. i would say it is happy to be in use again. As for the glass there should be some kind of a NAGS number...every piece has its own number...maybe the left side is a number one way or the other for the right hand piece. Auto restoration shops might be an avenue to check into. A friend had a late 60s hearse..fun finding glass for sure. A great video with a wasted wheel bearing...I have never seen one that bad given it appeared to be mostly rust damage. I bet Ron would have gotten a kick seeing that pull in...another great YT channel 🙂 A great save Scott!!

Really enjoyed this video Scott! Thanks!

Love this, what a cool sequel to the original get it running video. I especially liked the old cars going by, being a car guy, that was a treat, that Greyhound could have seen those cars, at some point in it's past. Great save guys, can't wait to see what y'all do with it, a conversion would be really cool. I can relate to what you were saying about the bridge, as almost every bridge coming through Arkansas headed north, there was a dip before the bridge, and a dip afterwards, the airbags on my MC9 got one heck of a workout. It was my maiden Voyage from Texas to Nappanee Indiana, with only about 5 hours of wheel time, before the trip, and I started off at night, made it a couple of hours north of Memphis, for my first leg of the trip, 566 miles, and got there at 3:55 AM. I was using google, and it put me on one of those one lane bridges, that goes way up in the air, I don't like those in a car, during the day, much less a 17.5 ton bus in the wee hours of the morning. Luckily nothing like that on the way home. I did cross over a couple of big bridges, like yall did, and wanted so badly to take some pictures, but just didn't want to chance it, as you have to drive my bus too, front end needs tightening up for sure, but I did the whole trip, and not a scratch one on the bus.

Looking forward to seeing this bus coming back to life. Should be great content. Thanks guys.

I am hooked on your videos 😊😊
